Cowboys vs. Packers Playoff Prediction: '45-24!' Says Keyshawn
FRISCO - Keyshawn Johnson, despite having once played in DFW, has not demonstrated a propensity for being "pro-Dallas Cowboys.''
But heading into this weekend, with the Green Bay Packers coming to town to open the NFL playoffs? He's pro-Cowboys now.
“There comes a time when I have to pick the Cowboys to win in a boat race: 45-24," Johnson said on FS1.
Johnson is of the belief that the Cowboys' offense will be able to overwhelm an opponent at home once again - Dallas is 8-0 this year here at AT&T Stadium - and that their defense, led by the "be-phenomenal'' Micah Parsons, will shut down late-season-standout QB Jordan Love and the Packers offense.
A win would of course send the Cowboys to the NFC Divisional round and grant them at least one more home game, where they have won 16 straight. That is why, with no disrespect to the Pack or any future foe, we've labeled this "the easiest path to their first NFC Championship Game'' since 1995.
Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is on record at scoffing at the idea that this franchise's history in that regard has anything to do with this game, with kickoff slated for 3:30 p.m.
Cowboys Nation hopes he's right. Keyshawn thinks he's right.
